대학입학경쟁과 사교육: 공교육 강화와 교육비 보조 정책의 효과

초록

This study theoretically analyzes the households’ choice regarding child’s university attendance jointly with household consumption and private tutoring under borrowing constraint where the households are differentiated by parental income and child ability. Due to the enrollment limit, the entrance into the high-quality university entails an intense competition. This may incur the cost of private tutoring that leads to the overrepresence of children from rich families in high-quality university attendance. By reinforcing public education or providing more education subsidy to households, the government can mitigate wealth bias. However, its effect is limited in reducing the inequality of educational opportunity without tuition control. With tuition control, however, both policies are effective in improving equality of educational opportunity. Especially, providing more education subsidy is more effective than reinforcing public education.
